Paul Diederich

Paul Diederich serves as an Associate within the PBS R00 Center for Broker Services under the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, where he supports the acquisition and management of nonresidential real estate assets critical to federal agency operations. His role centers on executing lease agreements for commercial office space and related facilities, ensuring alignment with federal workspace optimization goals. Diederich works within the full spectrum of real property procurement, from market research and requirement development to contract award and administration, with a focus on securing secure, efficient, and cost-effective environments for federal personnel across the United States. Diederich maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial real estate owners and developers, including TWO CON LLC, ONNI TIMES SQUARE LP, CVD MAIN LLC, BELTSVILLE GSA FDA LLC, and CC OWNER LLC. These partnerships are primarily structured around long-term leasehold interests in Class A and Class B office buildings, with an emphasis on turnkey, fully serviced spaces that meet federal security and operational standards. His procurement approach prioritizes established market participants with proven track records in delivering federal-compliant real estate solutions. Diederich’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions. This indicates a focus on maximizing market competition and value through unrestricted access to qualified commercial landlords, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach prioritizes property suitability, location, and cost-efficiency over socioeconomic criteria. His procurement expertise is exclusively focused on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting deep specialization in commercial lease acquisition. He procures fully operational office spaces, including utilities, maintenance, and building services, with an emphasis on locations that support federal mission continuity, accessibility, and compliance with GSA’s sustainability and security standards.
